Withholding from one's neighbor what one finds hateful is a negative command in that it requires one to refrain from taking action. It is easy to fulfill Hillel's negative command outwardly while still harboring hate towards (or not loving) one's neighbor. Yeshua's mitzvot to "love your neighbor as yourself" is a positive command in that it requires one to take action. Loving Yhvh with all one's resources and loving one's neighbor requires an inward change of the heart rather than an outward observance to withhold hateful things. This is a great example of how Yeshua brought fullness to Torah ("I did not come to abolish Torah, but to fulfill Torah"..."until heaven and earth pass away, not one yod or tittle shall pass from the Torah"). Obviously heaven and earth have not passed away and the Torah is still able to "make you wise unto salvation" and is "profitable for doctrine, reproof correction, INSTRUCTION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, that the person of Yhvh may be COMPLETE".
